Soul Bowls Metuchen — Restaurant in Metuchen

My only regret was that I didn't take a picture before diving in!!!

I had a hard time deciding which bowl to get because they all sounded so MAGICAL. Decided on the "indecisive" because LOL. The Indecisive bowl has pineapple, strawberry, banana with pitaya and açaí base over home-made granola. I added peanut butter. WOWWWW wow WOW. I was in SHOCK how good it was and literally couldn't stop eating although I was beyond full.

The fruit was super fresh, very nicely chopped up. The texture of the açaí and pitaya was so smooth and amazing. The granola was super healthy but felt like I was indulging in a dessert (when can you actually say that about granola alone?!?!) chia seeds, coconut flakes and other stuff-tasted super fresh.

They also have a iced coffee on tap that is amazing!!! I am admittedly a coffee snob. I also normally have to add shots of espresso to a regular coffee because it doesn't hit. I tried the blueberry iced coffee and was--once again--blown away. Strong and flavorful!!! The ambiance is super chill! The girl at the counter was super sweet and was able to meet the owner who was also very nice!!!

I'm only in town for a few days but before I left I made plans to return the following day! If you are use to Playa Bowls-prepare to have your socks...

I woke up Saturday morning really craving an açaí bowl! I was going to order from Playa Bowls but decided to try a new place instead. Before placing my order on Uber Eats, I called ahead to ask if I could swap out certain fruits, and the employee assured me that I could.

After ordering, I called again to confirm my modifications. I was excited, especially after waiting 50 minutes for my food (this place is 30 minutes away, while Playa Bowls is just 10 minutes from me). When my order finally arrived, they did not make the correct modifications—despite my double-checking.

I called the store to let them know, and their response? “Sorry, the girl is new.” I explained that this was my first time trying their shop, and I really dislike the fruit they included—could I come in for the correct bowl? Their solution: drive 30 minutes to return the incorrect order in freezing weather, after already paying extra for delivery.

Are you serious? I paid to have my food delivered for a reason. Why would I waste an hour of my day correcting their mistake? If you’re training a new employee, it’s your responsibility to make things right, not push the inconvenience onto the customer.

Horrible customer service. You’ve...

Finally gave Soul Bowls a try (speaking as a former employee from an açaí shop) and I was so impressed by my experience!

It’s such a lovely tranquil calm environment and there is both outdoor and indoor dining with plenty of shade and beautiful artwork.

I was able to sample their açaí and pitaya bases and for the first time in my life of working with smoothie bowls, I loved the açaí! It’s less sweet and more natural than what other competitors would say about their own. I feel that both these bases compliment well with their toppings so it’s not too sweet but really fresh and natural serving Soul Bowls mission of “100% vegan”!

I applaud them for their own homemade granola and Nutella alternative! So much more healthier and still delicious!

I cannot wait to continue to visit more and try their menu and find my go-to order soon! Welcome to the...
